Most of us believe it's dangerous to use a cell phone while behind the wheel. But it doesn't seem to affect our behavior. Texting and checking social network sites has consumed many of us. Next time you are at a stop light take a look around. It's hard not to find at least one person who isn't on their phone or holding their phone.
Nearly 90-percent of the respondents in a new Triple-A poll feel talking on a cell phone while driving poses a hazard on the road, but 69-percent also admit they've done so within the past month. It's also not the only risk they've taken on the road. Nearly two-thirds of the cell phone-using motorists also admit to speeding and 53-percent confess to texting or sending e-mails while driving. In addition, 44-percent say they've driven while drowsy.
By comparison, just 31-percent of those who've never used a cell phone while driving say they've occasionally surpassed the posted speed limit. Just 14-percent say they've slipped behind the wheel when tired. Only three-percent admit to having sent an e-mail or text while driving.
There are so many other things that grab our attention and can possibly lead to an accident. Why add to it? Make your car a cell phone free zone for drivers.
